Mass detentions and property demolitions follow police killing in Kashmir

Security forces in Kashmir have detained 2,500 individuals and demolished two homes linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba militants following a recent police killing. The operation represents a significant escalation in counter-insurgency tactics ahead of the Amarnath Yatra pilgrimage, drawing criticism from local political figures. It remains unclear if the mass detentions will yield actionable intelligence or exacerbate regional instability.
